Well my sisterlock countdown begins! Exactly seven days from now I will be getting my sisterlocks installed! I am very excited and I have been reading sisterlock blogs left and right. My husband has graciously taken the day off work so he can keep our daughter home with him and now I am just thinking of everything I should take to keep me occupied. I am taking my cooler that I take to work we me (I work 12 hr shifts) complete with breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, and maybe another snack. My bottled water...it goes everywhere with me, my Ipod touch ( complete with music and several books downloaded for my reading pleasure), and my computer so I can facebook away! Thank God she has wireless internet! Anyway I am very excited and even more so since my loose hair ( if you can call it that) has not been behaving. I swear my hair is going to lock up in one day! It tangles, mats, and shrinks if you just look at it! No wonder she said my hair was "perfect for locking" in this wow girl your hair is really naapy, thick, and dense voice. I love it though and can't wait to see how it looks and will mature locked up! The top pic is what my hair looks like this morning. Please don't run screaming from your computer ! The second pic is what it looks like freshly washed and blown out with tons of gel at the front (after hours with a scarf on it so it will lay down) can't wait to be done with all that!
As far as my weight loss goes I weighed in the day after Christmas which was a week and one day and I am down from 133.4 lbs to 130.6! So almost 3 pounds! Go me! I'll have to admit I slipped up close to Christmas day due to all the goodies was making. But I did workout religiously! That probably help tip the scale in my favor. Well time to go...until next time!
Hi Ms. Biijii
ReplyDeleteI am in nursing school myself right now. I wear a weave now, but I really want to go natural. I was wondering how your natural hair has been received in the hospital. I was really excited to go natural, but then I started thinking about whether it would affect me in the hospital. I graduate in Dec. and I'm afraid wearing my hair natural might affect my chances of finding a job. I don't want locs, and I'd like to wear my hair natural in a two strand twist out or pulled back afro puff. What has your experience with your hair been in your work setting.
So sorry this has taken so long...no one EVER reads my blog lol. I was very nervous the first time I went to work with my hair natural. I got lots of comments and a lot of people were surprised but I never had any problems getting jobs or worrying about how my co-workers would perceive me. They were mostly curious about the change from straight to my natural texture. Two strand twist and a puff were my favorite styles and can be dolled up to look very professional. Plus when you are working the floor trust me you will see people being totally casual. One white girl I worked with wore two ponytails everyday. I think it is harder on the person preparing to make the transition that it is once you do it. Good luck in your new career and with going natural!!!
